This Is Not A Running AO?

When Skid Mark brought me out for the first time in 2015, it was at Mayhem. Where is that guy anyway? I’ve been trying to EH him for the past couple years but no luck. Anyway, it felt like I haven’t been out since 2015 and while that’s not quite...

A Strollway Tour

Could not have asked for better weather this morning. Sky was clear, stars were out, and temps were in the lower 50s. Literally my favorite running weather. There was mumble chatter leading up to the run about how terrible the routes were (cough...

An Ardmore Jaunt

Facts I’ve learned from running OGs: Winston is hilly Hanes Park is at the bottom of a bowl Hills are unavoidable One time I even designed a route to avoid any major hills and I found a route with a super low elevation…but people complained...

Where is everyone?

Fortunately, Giles read his email and sent out an alert that the 4th graders had a field trip and would be leaving at 6:15 from Speas, so it was decided to park at the tennis courts instead. Unfortunately, YHC did not set clear directions and...
